Description
Iodoacetamido-PEG3-acid is a water-soluble PEG linker featuring an iodoacetamido group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The iodoacetamido moiety acts as a potent alkylating agent for covalent thiol binding, while the terminal carboxylic acid allows for conjugation with primary amines via amide bond formation.
Applications
Iodoacetamido-PEG3-acid is widely used in protein labeling, bioconjugation, and drug delivery. It enables specific modification of cysteine residues, preventing disulfide bond formation, while its carboxylic acid facilitates efficient coupling with amine-containing biomolecules, making it ideal for creating stable and targeted conjugates in biomedical research.
